Deformed components, especially com-
ponents made of aluminum, can break
without previous warning. They must
not be repaired, i.e. straightened, as this will not
reduce the imminent risk of breakage. This ap-
plies in particular to the fork, the handlebars, the
stem, the cranks, the seat post and the pedals.
When in doubt, it is always the better choice for
your safety to have these parts replaced. Ask
your CENTURION dealer for advice.

If your CENTURION bike is assembled
with carbon components, it is imper-
ative that you have it checked by your
CENTURION dealer after an accident or similar
incident. Carbon is extremely strong and durable
with very low weight, making it perfect for the
production of high-performance parts. However,
one of the inherent properties of carbon is that
possible overstress may compromise the inner
carbon-fiber structure without showing any vis-
ible deformation, as is the case with steel or alu-
minum. A damaged component can fail without
previous warning. Risk of an accident!
A
Make it a rule to check the function-
ing and in particular the limit stop of
the rear derailleur after a fall or if your
CENTURION bike has toppled over.

accident” with your CENTURION
pedelec
1. Check the rechargeable battery
(a-c)
. If the
rechargeable battery is no longer properly in its
holder or shows any damage, do not use your
CENTURION pedelec any longer, at least not in
the assistance mode. Switch off the drive and
the rechargeable battery separately, if necessary.
A damaged battery can lead to a short-circuit
resulting in a sudden failure of the CENTURION
pedelec assistance right at the moment when
you need it.
Damage to the outer housing of the recharge-
able battery can result in water or moisture
entry which can lead to short circuits or electric
shocks. The rechargeable battery may catch fire
or even explode! In such a case, contact your
CENTURION dealer immediately.
For more information see the system instructions
of your drive manufacturer on this CENTURION
CD-ROM.
2. Check that all values are displayed properly and
fully on the drive HMI
(d)
or the display. Do not
use your CENTURION pedelec, if the drive HMI
shows an error message or a warning. In the
case of critical errors the system switches off
automatically. In the case of non-critical errors
the system may be still operable.
